An in-line initiator and firing device assembly includes a shock tube assembly. An in-line initiator is provided for initiating a shock wave along the shock tube assembly, and includes an end sleeve having a bore extending between input and output ends. At least a portion of a surface defining the bore toward the output end of the end sleeve is threaded for threadably receiving and forming threads on an outer surface of the input end of the shock tube assembly. A first retaining device is associated with the end sleeve for receiving a shock wave triggering device and securing the triggering device to the input end of the end sleeve. A firing device assembly is activated by a shock wave transmitted through the shock tube assembly. The firing device includes a barrel having a bore extending between input and output ends. The input end of the barrel communicates with the output end of the shock tube assembly and the output end communicates with a firing device. A firing pin piston is movably disposed within the bore of the barrel, and defines a cavity communicating with the input end of the barrel for storing a propellant charge to be initiated by shock waves transmitted from the shock tube assembly. A second retaining device is associated with the barrel for coupling the firing device to the barrel.
